Rather obsessive but provides a useful alphabetical list of Hoodoo blues song lyrics by performer for the likes of me. Who'd have thought that a singer by the unlikely name of John D. Twitty would record as Black Spider Dumpling. Song somewhat "off the wall" too.

Fab site, Alan, but I was hoping you had written an essay on the subject.

I think we should post a daily favourite blues lyric. Today, my favourite is "I'm gonna leave here runnin' 'cos walkin' is way too slow" from "Key To The Highway" by Derek and the Dominos (joke! joke! I make joke! You no kill...)

I remember a performance by an organist, who having completed a medley of tunes announced....."............and we finished of that little section with Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out written of course by Eric Clapton."

btw. It is probably beyond comment but has anyone seen/heard any of the recent EC album which has quietly slipped out ? Dear me!

Favourite Blues lyric ..

Your eyeballs look like roadmapPointing two different waysY'got your wig in one handAnd your teeth in the otherAnd you haven't looked this good in days.

The lyric that Will cites brings to mind a 70s EP I loaned CG which contained a track by Archibald. She's Scattered Everywhere, which he found hilarious and played it on HT. Would probably considered un-PC in these po-faced times....
